Veteran New York Post courts photographer Steven Hirsch has snapped his fair share of sensational, but fleeting, front pages.

But these days, he’s also using a paintbrush and his eye for garish tabloid drama to turn some of his favorite Page 1 creeps and crooks into lasting art.

Four of Hirsch’s paintings will be on display this weekend at the Art on Paper art fair, running through Sunday at Lower Manhattan’s Pier 36.

The massive art fair features paper-based works offered by 95 galleries.

Works by Hirsch, 71, of the East Village, are on display at the Marion Harris Gallery booth, and include his acrylics-altered tabloid front pages of Harvey Weinstein, fake German heiress Anna Sorokin and Brooke Astor’s swindling son Anthony Marshall.

Hirsch, who has no formal training, says he started experimenting with abstract painting three years ago.

He soon realized that the bizarre, gritty truth he saw at court each day was stranger, and more inspiring than any fiction he could dream up.

“There could hardly be a better place for inspiration than the Manhattan criminal courthouse,” said Hirsch, who has worked the courts beat for The Post for 20 years and whose works are also up on his Instagram page.

“The place is teeming with characters straight out of a cartoon — or a Tarantino movie.”
